I was just thinking about the simplicity of my diet at times. For instance, right now I have a HUGE bowl of No-oil stir fry in my fridge. I made it two nights ago and this will most likely last me four-five more days. I mix it with brown rice and I have my work lunchbox and late night snack too. Most people will say, no way! this is too boring! To this I think...we are animals, specifically mammals. Any other mammal on earth would be very content with the same meal everyday for a week. In fact, if we eat local with the seasons we will eat the same fruits & veggies everyday for three months. It seems we have totally lost sight of what food is. Food is our fuel. I have been putting regular unleaded in my tank for 15 years. Not once have I said, nope...feels like a diesel kinda day. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE food! But at the end of the day I hope to have only put the best fuel in my tank. So, this week it is: juice in the a.m., No-oil stir-fry, and a quickly dwindling stash of HONEYBELLS!!!

Sweet. Like this perspective. It's like the analogy where the guys are on a road trip and they stop to get gas. A conversation strikes up about the type of fuel used and one guy just keeps on talking on and on about the fuel for like an hour as they are driving. The other guys throw him out on the side of the road...ha! I think we just need to keep it simple and eat and move on....:) Curtis
ReplyDeleteThat would be a great bed time story for my nephew!!! LOL I agree about keeping it simple. We have become so disconnected and distracted with 'taste' always attempting to blast our taste buds out of our mouth. I have been 'feeding' off basically the same dish for lunch for the last two weeks. To tell you the truth I have been having the best week ever! Not sure why, but my food has been good :) I always switch up my morning juice/smoothie scene everyday and my fruit situation is day to day depending on what looks tasty in produce...man life is good!
